The Astronomy Group of the Progymnasium Rosenfeld made a human sundial and time lapse for an entire school day. Each person should stay for ten minutes being the stick of a sundial. One image was taken every 20 s from about 8 am until 4 pm. Thanks to the 38 participants for all their patience! It was fun and also very instructive. The dial was calculated for this special date. Also watch the clock at the tower and compare it to the sundial!
